Solve it through the transverse deck." Although the time is short, Mingzhou Group has already produced a preliminary design plan, which fully reflects their expertise in this field.

They are all a single deck with no columns. How to solve the strength problem? Will it collapse if cars are loaded in layer by layer?

Of course not! There are many tricks in this. Why didn’t the aircraft carrier’s hangar collapse? Just use the design of the aircraft carrier’s hangar.

Although there is no longitudinal support, there is horizontal support. As long as it is fixed to the side of the ship and relies on high-strength steel plates, it can be supported.

Only shipyards that build aircraft carriers dare to do this.

Andreas nodded, very satisfied with this design. He didn't know the strength, but everything inside was straight through without any pillars. This was the most important thing.

"Among them, the five decks in the middle are movable." Qin Tao continued: "They are made to lift and move up and down. In this way, the ro-ro ship can not only load cars, but also trucks.

It can even load yachts or large agricultural equipment when needed, increasing the diversity of your transported goods."

With more layers, the height of each layer is limited. If you want to install a car, two meters is enough. Even if you want to install some tall and powerful off-road vehicles, it can be two meters high, up to two meters.

5. However, this height is not enough for loading trucks.

What should I do if I want to install it on other vehicles?

The answer is that the deck can move up and down!

This is a brand new design! This design improves the flexibility of transportation and allows them to take on more transportation business!

The reason why they are on the middle floors is of course because the bridges connecting the ro-ro ship and the wharf are on the middle floors. The heights are the same, making it easy for vehicles to enter and exit. Cars can be loaded up and down. The middle floors are installed last and the height can be changed.

It is no problem to install large items, especially the layer where the bridge plate is built, and finally install those super high items.

"Can such a large deck be moved? How is it possible?"

"This is equivalent to a large aircraft carrier elevator." Qin Tao said, "We have this technology."

Qin Tao has been repeatedly instilling this truth: To build a ro-ro ship of this level requires aircraft carrier technology. The direct access deck below is the hangar of the aircraft carrier. This elevator is also a technology used by aircraft carriers.

An aircraft carrier needs an elevator so that it can complete the transfer of aircraft on and off. Moreover, similar to the super aircraft carriers in the United States, one elevator can accommodate two aircraft at the same time. Even two large bugs weigh more than fifty tons. If two Tomcats

, more than sixty tons properly, plus its own weight and various redundancies, the aircraft carrier elevator needs to have a take-off and landing capacity of one hundred tons, so that it is safe enough.

This is the aircraft carrier's elevator. What about other elevators?

Moving the entire deck up and down is equivalent to multiple lifts moving at the same time. Of course, you cannot put cars in when moving. You have to move it without load. That is to move the entire deck, which weighs about 500 tons.

It's about the same as five aircraft carrier lifts, so it's not that difficult. Moreover, Dongfang also has the world's most powerful cranes, so it's not easy to do this.

Qin Tao doesn't think it's that difficult. The super ro-ro ships of later generations also have this design. Now that he has come up with it, it is the first of its kind. This is what Mingzhou Group wants!

"Mr. Qin, it's true that we found the wrong builder. If it can be designed like this, we will be able to transport more types of goods. Your design is great!" Andreas was very excited.
Chapter completed!
